Daily Fethiye & Oludeniz Tour from Saklikent – Rock Tombs & Kayakoy

Fethiye Rock Tombs, Kayakoy and Oludeniz Day Trip from Saklikent

This daily Fethiye and Oludeniz tour from Saklikent brings together ancient Lycian heritage, a deserted Greek village and one of Turkey's most famous beaches in one well-balanced day tour. With hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide and entrance fees covered, this daily excursion lets you see the highlights around Fethiye without planning a single transfer yourself.

• Lycian rock tombs cut into the cliffs above Fethiye
• The Tomb of Amyntas, resting place of a high-ranking local figure
• Panoramic views over Fethiye and its bay
• Kayakoy ghost town with more than 100 ruined houses and several churches
• Lunch stop at a restaurant in the heart of the village
• Oludeniz beach for swimming in clear Mediterranean water

The rock tombs of Fethiye date from the Lycian period, when the city was known as Telmessos. The most impressive is the temple-fronted Tomb of Amyntas, carved into the rock for a person of high status. From the terrace in front of the tombs the view sweeps across the modern town and harbour, which makes it a favourite photo spot on any Fethiye day trip.

Kayakoy is an abandoned village that was once home to a Greek community. Today more than 100 roofless houses and a few churches stand at different levels across the slope, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The midday break is at a village restaurant set right among the ruins. Later you reach Oludeniz, the Blue Lagoon area celebrated for its calm, crystal-clear water, where time is set aside to relax on the sand and swim.

Practical notes: travel is in an air-conditioned, non-smoking coach; lunch and drinks are paid locally. Bring swimwear, a towel, sun cream and comfortable shoes for the ruins. A final photo stop is made on the way back to Saklikent.
